"Remake This Movie RIGHT!" is a bi-weekly podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version of how a modern retelling should go. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!

Our topic for this week is Directors. Specifically, who are the most overrated and underrated directors working today? Those that are appreciated, why do we appreciate them? Is it framing? Style? Those that are overrated, why don’t they work for us? Join in on our discussion and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

Movie Dads is our topic this week, as we dive into what makes a great movie dad? Is a great dad a protector, a nurturer, or all of the above? We discuss this, as well as our picks for most and least favorite movie dads.

Then be sure to stick around as we jump into Colin Trevorrow’s attempt to rejuvenate the Jurassic Park franchise with Jurassic World.

We recently discussed marketing in today’s films. As that was a very wide-ranging conversation, one of our listeners – John - asked us to elaborate on movie trailers themselves. Specifically, those trailers that painted an awful film as brilliance or made a great film look like hot, sticky garbage. As we discuss movie trailers and the lies they tell, we also focus on those trailers that duped us personally. Join in on the discussion and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

Television has continued to evolve, as we as a culture have. Where we once sat together every night as a complete family unit, only watching whatever safe TV show was on one of our 3 channels, we now have THOUSANDS of options every night on hundreds of network, cable, and streaming channels. As television has evolved, so has how it is told. One of our listeners, Rex, recently asked us to discuss the differences between procedural and serialized television. Specifically, what are the positives and negatives to both? As we dive into it, we also discuss our favorites in both and what makes them so exceptional in this regard. Join in on the discussion and listen to this very topic on the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.
